Buck factory engraving?

[Bald Mac]

Does anyone have photos of a factory-engraved Buck knife? Ideally a 119.

A buddy collects knives and I'm thinking of getting him a 119 to celebrate his recovery from cancer. I'd definitely do one of the SV30 blade options. Leaning toward Cerakote, but I could do polished, as well. I'm thinking of getting it engraved, but the simulation on the configuration site looks kind of cheesy. I'd love to see screenshots of what the factory engraving looks like on either the satin or cerakote blades.

Also interested in the shockwood vs. burlwood vs black palm handles.

Thanks!

Went ahead and ordered the shock wood with the chipflint blade and silver hardware. We'll see!

Sounds like a great knife and a great gesture. No idea on the engraving question but please post a couple pictures of the knife when you receive it.

Will do! I decided to engrave a metal plate to attach to a stand, so he'd have an untouched knife to hand down to his son. I also skipped the SV30, since he won't be using this as a camp knife, and the chip flint option (which doesn't come in SV30) really seemed to match the shockwood well.

I agree! I just went to the link and configured your knife. Looks great together! Hope your friend continues with a successful, life long recovery.

Thank you! His tests are looking good so far!

The shock wood looks great. Nice choice.
